Providing Opportunities
Our effort to reach families experiencing personal loss includes letters to nearly 500 school counselors, county social services agencies, bereavement groups, and mental health organizations. Many of these professionals have asked questions, offered comments, given us positive feedback, and provide numerous referrals.
In less than two full years of operation we have engaged over 35 children and families in our programs, connecting them with a diverse range of activities including community theater, nature camp, junior police academy, soccer camp, basketball camp, and more. We feel that this organization plays a vital role in the development and growth of children and families recovering from loss.
Two additional programs have secured funding and will strengthen the primary objectives of the Life Link program. Reaching For the Stars works to support a child's involvement in Life Link related activities by providing information on loss and recovery to coaches, instructors, teachers, and mentors. The Friends for Life initiative is being developed with the broader objective of helping the family as a whole by providing emergency assistance and support
